Hands Across America link planned by Reagan family
The Reagan family plans to join Hands Across America on Sunday to raise about 50 million dollars for hunger and homelessness. Ronald Reagan told staffers that hungry people do not lack effort but access and urged participation from White House to Pennsylvania Avenue. Organizers hope over five million people will form a 15 minute human chain nationwide. The Physicians Task Force on Hunger in America says hunger and malnutrition are more widespread than in the 1970s after reviewing 150 counties.
